re: Why Are You Against Abortion?

I just spent a few weeks in NICU with my girl that was born a couple months early. I was surprised how well babies do at a very early age, esp girls at 20 weeks and beyond. Go look at any good NICU around the country and it will blow your mind how many weeks they are, and how well they do. Mine never needed oxygen, they just used nasal cannulus at a flow rate on room air, kind of like CPAP. The one behind us at C-section did die, but I was definitely amazed with how resiliant these little babies are...They are fighters, and have that will to live...

how dare you bring medical facts or experiences in here.

i posted in another thread that my wife is an OBGYN. she recently had a patient whos baby was forced to come out (for whatever reason), around 20 weeks. when she birthed the baby it breathed and lived for about 60 seconds, even had a little cry. Keep in mind that its the size of your hand. in a couple more weeks it would have been viable. so who is to decide that its ok to kill something when its going to be viable in a matter of days or weeks?

unfortunately this is a debate that will probably never end.
